@thcrealheroes ; homelander : " Tell me, William, man to man. Is she a good fuck ? " random inbox asks ; always accepting.
𝐡𝐞 𝐤𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐝𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠. it was bad enough that homelander knew about him and annie, but he was actively trying to get some reaction out of him. it wasn't exactly surprising, this was the same cunt who had taunted him about when he had attacked rebecca. homelander really would do anything to get under his skin, to make him crack and lash out like the angry attack dog he had always been. hearing him talk about annie set him on edge, refusing to look at him, made his blood boil and his heart pounded hard against his chest, almost just 𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 for the fight that was inevitable. butcher knew that any fight with him whilst he hadn't taken temp v would be suicide, but he couldn't do anything right now and he knew that homelander did not take him seriously at all.
𝐛𝐮𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐚 𝐝𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡, trying to calm himself down as he finally looked up at him, eyes dark as he steps towards him, " don't you dare fucking talk about her like that, " he threatened, despite knowing that this was probably all just amusing to him. he couldn't deny that him and annie had been together, the lies wouldn't do anything to get him out of this situation. how fucking terrible that the only person who really knew how he felt about her was homelander? he was completely 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐝 with no way out. homelander had everything he needed to make sure he could keep on hurting him. annie had always been at risk because she was just always trying to play hero, but if homelander knew that she was important to him, she was even more danger. standing tall as he looked at him, heart beat as steady as ever, not faltering as he kept calm but ready for a fight, " you fucking touch her, you hurt her in any way - i will make sure you regret it, " he was not going to let the same thing happen again, he was not going to lose another person because of this monster.

@thcrealheroes ; homelander : " I have changed, whether you believe it or not, I am not the same Homelander you once knew . . . and that's all thanks to Annie. Not Starlight - don't you fucking call her that. She is more than just a damn supe, do I make myself clear, William ? "
𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐫𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐡𝐢𝐦 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐚 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐞'𝐬 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐝? just because he managed to get sweet little starlight to fall in love with him and have a kid with him? nah, he wasn't buying it. starlight had always been naive and probably got borderline stockholm syndrome with all those years alone with it. once homelander reminded them all of who he really was, she'd probably run and hide with her own daughter. butcher wasn't going to sit there and believe this whole 𝐚𝐜𝐭 that homelander was a better person, everyone else might be willing to believe it because they felt like they needed him to stop ares. yet he found it amusing that homelander was trying to tell him to how fucking act. butcher smirked softly, shaking his head, " why? it's her fucking supe name, ain't it? " he shrugged, not looking over at him as he spoke, not taking him seriously whatsoever. a part of him knew that homelander could and would hurt him. maybe he was trying to goad him into a little, to show everyone that it was absolutely a mistake in bringing him into their plan. was it his best plan? absolutely not. but fuck it. butcher wasn't going to be 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 nice with homelander at any time, " everyone else might want to buy into your bullshit, john, " he sneered, looking over at him for a moment, shaking his head as he raised the cigarette between his fingers to his lips, taking a drag as he looks away again, " but i don't. not sure how you tricked starlight into thinking you're not a monster, but i'm not fucking buying it for one second - you'll show us all who you really are eventually and all that hardwork starlight did to change will have been for nothing, "

𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐝𝐦𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞, seeing so obivously jealous because some woman was hitting on him and it didn't matter that he had barely acknowledged her or flirted back, annie was jealous and she wasn't very good at hiding it. even her trying to deny it was adorable, the way she could barely look him in the eye and the way she downed her drink, which was hot in a way that he didn't expect. what could he say? he loved a woman who could hold her drink. plus he liked seeing annie lose 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥 every now again. she was always wound so tightly, which was somewhat understandable with everything that was constantly going on, but to see the way she just let herself feel and couldn't keep up the perfect good girl act. it made her so fucking irresistible to him. it didn't even occur to him that kimiko and frenchie were clearly watching the exchange. shaking his head with a smirk, watching as she walked away before downing the rest of his own drink, giving the other two a look before following her, completely unable to help himself.
𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐨𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧'𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐦, arms folded across his chest as he waited for her to come out of the bathroom, unable to shake that amused feeling. he never expected jealously from her, it almost seemed beneath her, but yet here they were and it was something he couldn't run from anymore. he knew he could keep try to keep 𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 to himself what was happening here, it had been messy and intense, but he wasn't sure what to think about it all anymore. all he knew was that despite how hard he tried to keep fighting this, he couldn't anymore. the moment she stepped out, he laughed softly, " i didn't realise you were the jealous type, sweetheart, " butcher teased, hands reaching out to pull her towards him, no one would even see them in the crowded place, " i bet you're all frustrated and worked up right now. how about you come back to my place and work all of that out in a more constructive way than your bad attempt at denial? "

𝐚 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐡𝐢𝐦 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐝𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬, that she was standing across from here, willing to help ryan in a way that he couldn't and helping him keep his promise to rebecca. in making sure that ryan wouldn't end up like homelander, he needed her help to help him learn and control his powers. as much as he dislikes supes, he would do anything for ryan and he didn't have anyone else that they could possibly 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 to do this. hughie had always spoke so highly of starlight, he was the reason that butcher had even considered this because he trusted hughie and if he really thought that starlight could be trusted, he had to go with that. he was completely aware of the risk he was asking her to take, especially considering how closely she had to work with homelander. the one person who could absolutely not know what they were doing here. it had a 𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐟𝐮𝐥 year, though he was positive that homelander had spent most of the year searching for ryan, but he still hadn't found them and it needed to stay that way. butcher would do anything to make sure ryan could grow up in a way that rebecca had wanted, she just wanted the best for him and he had always been bad at keeping promsies, but this was a promise he wanted to keep.
𝐛𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐞𝐲𝐞𝐬 𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐥 𝐚𝐬 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐮𝐩 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐭, knowing he definitely deserved the way she reacted to him because she absolutely had every reason to not like, not trust him and honestly, he was shocked she was here. she didn't owe him anything and it was just further proof that she was just a good person. but he was being geninue in saying that he appreicated that she was here and if she was going to keep showing up like this, he could at least agree to not be consistently arguing with her. butcher sighs softly, looking around the surrounding area as he nods, " he's doing okay as he can be. i know he misses his mom more than anything. he keeps having nightmares . . . about you know who, " he admits softly because it was the one thing he couldn't keep him safe from, he couldn't keep ryan from his own fears and his own mind. he could do everything else, he could keep moving him from place to place, he could fight to his last breath, but he couldn't protect ryan from his own nightmares. he hated seeing him cry and shout, knowing becca would've been so much at comforting than he was, but he was really 𝐭𝐫𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 his best out here. he never thought he would be a good dad, but he was trying to do whatever ryan needed from him and he definitely wasn't perfect, but the two of them had each other and it had helped him not be completely consumed by grief.
𝐠𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐦𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭, seeing that smile on her face and just taken back by how beautiful she is. nope, absolutely not. he could not afford to be distracted and think like that. she was here to help ryan and that was it. nodding his head, running his hand through dark hair, " yeah, he does. i told him that you were coming, he remembered you from that day . . . said you seemed nice, which i guess he's not wrong about, " he smirked, an almost playful tone to his voice as he looked away from her again. butcher didn't like admitting when he was wrong or 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐝 help, but it was obvious that he didn't know what it took to help ryan with his powers, " he's inside with grace right now. he's scared of his powers, he hates them and fuck, if he chooses to never use them, i'm fine by that. but he knows he needs to learn to control them, " butcher tells her, knowing becca would be happy that he was doing this, she wanted ryan to not be like homelander and he was trying to make sure that happened, " just be patient with him, yeah? kid's been through enough, "
